Sensor Tower: Royal Match has surpassed Candy Crush Saga in revenue and downloads for the first time in history
For the king!
This significant event occurred in July 2023. Royal Match earned $112 million and received 14.6 million installations, while Candy Crush Saga earned $104 million and received 14.4 million installations.
It took Royal Match two and a half years to achieve these results.
61.5% of Royal Match installations are paid, while the percentage of paid installations for Candy Crush Saga ranges from 15.4% to 25% at its peak.
Analysts at Sensor Tower attribute Royal Match's success to aggressive Live Ops. The game now receives 200 new levels every month.
However, Candy Crush Saga still leads in terms of Daily Active Users (DAU) with 18 million users, while Royal Match has 15 million. Nevertheless, if the current trend continues, Royal Match is expected to reach this milestone by the end of October.
